Linsanbi Recreation Area Introduction
Linsanbi, known as the "Beautiful Nose Tip of the Northernmost Point of Taiwan," stands between Baisha Bay and contrasts with Fugui Cape. It was formed by the eruption of the Zhuzai Volcano from the Tatun Volcano Group 800,000 years ago, creating a cape that extends into the sea. The residents of Demao Village refer to it as "Biwaili" or "Biwei Head," and it was renamed "Linsanbi" during the Japanese occupation. The andesite with well-developed rock joints, eroded over the years by sea waves and constantly battered by sand carried by the northeast monsoon, gradually forms a flat aeolian erosion surface. As the wind direction changes, different angles of sculpting create sharp ridges, thus it is called "Wind Ridge Stone." When standing and admiring these large and uniquely shaped wind ridge stones, one can almost hear the dialogue between the wind and the stones, marveling at the profoundness and persistence that comes from the unchanging natural forces. Another gem of Linsanbi is the algal reefs, a special geological landscape worth observing. Some algae require stable rocks to grow, making the abundant andesite a prime choice. With the new and dying generations of algae, layered thin calcareous algal reefs are formed on the rock surface. Additionally, observing small creatures in the intertidal zone is also a key recreational activity at Linsanbi. By checking the tides in advance and preparing the right equipment, one can enjoy the fun of tide pooling and easily discover rare natural wonders among the rocky crevices. Currently, the "Linsanbi Recreation Area" is equipped with walking paths and wooden bridges, allowing visitors to appreciate the coastal scenery and observe the shallow water ecology, making it very suitable for family outings and outdoor educational trips in nature. Furthermore, Linsanbi is a great place to watch the sunset; when the sunset glow reflects on the mirror-like shallow waters, it is particularly mysterious and beautiful. A scene from the movie "Secret That Cannot Be Told," where the male lead escorts the female lead home, was filmed on the bike path in the Linsanbi Recreation Area. The wooden boardwalk is approximately 600 meters long; along the way, the sea view is beautiful, especially when the gentle breeze caresses the Casuarina forest, and the sea breeze stirs the silver waves, making it particularly captivating, thus attracting many movie fans to visit.
